It has a 427 Ford with Medium Riser heads and a single 4V with Le Mans float bowls. Supposedly built by Holman Moody.
In the race results, it appears that the engine is listed as a plymouth, which I guessed it to be a hemi, but I guess they got it wrong,

The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
